We've always been rather low-key on Memorial Day, celebrating quietly, usually only with the three of us. This year there will only be Greg and I, but I wanted to acknowledge the holiday in some way.

Thoughts of Pansies for a Spring Table

The First Blossoms in the Spring Garden
Hello and welcome to the spring garden! My favorite season in the garden is spring, with its wonderful exuberance of shapes, colors and textures that is especially welcome after the challenges of winter. For spring blossoms I rely on trees and shrubs, carpeted beneath by perennial bulbs.
The photos below are roughly in their order of bloom, spanning the end of February through the end of March.

Hopping into Spring
I can always tell that spring has truly arrived when I see bunnies
hopping through my garden! They have already begun nibbling my flowers
and the fresh green shoots growing through the mulch.

A Medley of Easter Tablescapes
Welcome to a medley of my Easter tablescapes!
I had intended to set an Easter table to share with you, but my plans for the last couple of weeks were drastically changed by a trip to the ER with Greg, followed by his emergency cardiac surgery. From the time I dropped him off at the ER until he was released from the hospital eight days later, I was unable to see him due to the COVID-19 visitation regulations. I am so glad he had been vaccinated before this happened!
Thankfully we could text and eventually talk on the phone. While I certainly understand the need for the hospital's policy, it made waiting so much worse. But Greg is home, healing and feeling better each day! So I'll be back with new tablescapes soon!
In the meantime, click on the title just above each pair of photos to see the full post.
